Client Billing Options

[NSBS]

Currently, I participate in the Pay-By-Return program. However, I have a client who wants their refund direct deposited, but does not want to use the refund to pay me. He would rather pay my tax preparation fees out-of-pocket. So, I completed the direct deposit inputs and e-filed the return without entering the pay-by-return selections. Both the state and federal returns have been accepted. At this time, I'd like to know if the system will automatically generate an invoice OR if I will need to create and generate the invoice for payment? Please assist. Thanks.

Can't he just hand you the payment? You should get paid prior to Efiling.

Yes, he can and you're absolutely right. I think I just wanted an invoice to generate so that I can tie his payment back to this service in the event anything ever happened. Honestly, I've never had someone want to pay me upfront so this is a new one for me. Has this ever happened to you and if so, how do you handle it?

Im not familiar with ProConnect Tax Online, I think @itonewbie  or @George4Tacks might be able to help better.

Seems like there should be a way to get it to print out an invoice of some kind.
